Ready Time

1 hrs 15 mins

Yields

8 servings

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the white chocolate chips.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Roll each ball of dough into a thin rope, then coil it into a spiral shape, curling the tail into the center of the cookie. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 8 cookies.

Notes

Make sure to use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor. Don’t overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies.

When rolling the dough into ropes, try to make them as uniform as possible so the cookies bake evenly.

If you find the dough too sticky, refrigerate it for about 10 minutes to firm it up before rolling. To ensure the cookies hold their shape, don’t overbake them; 12-14 minutes should be just right.

Let the cookies cool completely on the wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
